Chapter 479 - He is no longer a young kid (2/2)

”The day after tomorrow, right?” Ryn asked while scratching her head. Her cap was on her l.a.p.s.

”Tomorrow, Ryn. Don't tell me you've forgotten,” Mei Li cried. She always made sure she knew by the heart of Ryn's schedule and made sure she did not miss anything. Why it seemed like lately Ryn always forgot about her schedule or… did she accidentally delete the reminder she set on her phone. ”Later give me your phone.”

”My phone? Why?” Ryn asked in a puzzled.

”I want to check something,” her manager replied. Even if she explained, she did not think Ryn understood.

Mei Li did not speak anymore. She simply drove the car to their location. She did not even play the radio so as not to disturb her concentration.

Ryn, on the other hand, hugged her bag and cap as she tried to steal more winks. She was still sleepy.

Jeremy walked down the stairs as he read the doc.u.ment on his phone. He even wore his coat and tie as today he would have to go back to the office. There were a lot of things to do and he wanted to finish some of them before lunch. He planned to have lunch together with Ryn, if she has finished her work, and then helped her pack her things.

”Good morning, Young Master,” the butler greeted when the older man saw him.

”Morning. Is everyone in the dining room?” Jeremy asked. Last night, instead of sending him back to the c.o.n.d.o.minium so he could grab his car key and rush back to Ryn's place, his family decided that it was better to go straight to the mansion. He was sent to his room with a stern warning not to go to Ryn's place. Although he was not satisfied with the order, he obeyed it halfheartedly and went upstairs to his room to sleep. Once he woke up, he did send a message to Ryn but it seemed like his girlfriend did not check her phone yet. She must be sleeping or already busy with her work. He forgot to ask what time Mei Li would pick her up for work.

”Your sister hasn't returned. Master and madam are still in the dining room. Old madam hasn't awakened,” the butler replied as he followed behind Jeremy. He signaled a maid to open the door for the dining table and with a wiggle of his hand, another maid was sent to get Jeremy's breakfast.

”Good morning, father, mother,” Jeremy greeted politely as he entered the dining room. He went straight to the empty chair on his father's left side, facing his mother.

”Morning, son. Are you going to work today?” Mr. Long asked when he saw his son's outfit. ”I hope you do not take half-day again.”

”Your transfer requires a lot of adjustment. I don't think Ryn will not understand if you're busy,” Mr. Long said with disapproval. Of course, he liked the girl and wanted her to be his daughter-in-law but he did not like to see his son treating the companies as his playground. Jeremy carried their family's name and it was his job not to bring it down.

”I can do it, father,” Jeremy replied politely and paused as the maid arranged his breakfast in front of him. Today's breakfast was full English breakfast complete with sausages, scrambled eggs, and blood pudding. Guess the cook was watching a western cooking show again and got inspiration from it.

He reached for the cup of coffee and sipped it slowly. The dark liquid hit his tongue and awakened his brain. It was not too sweet, still having the bitter taste. He did not have to doctor his coffee as the maid already knew his preference and prepared it accordingly. He ignored the milk.

”What can you do?” Mr. Long asked with a c.o.c.k of his brow. Although there was no complaint he did not like to hear that his son did not seem to put emphasis on the main company. He could count using one hand how many times Jeremy went there to observe the work. Even at his own company, nowadays it was hard to see Jeremy working there for one full day. He always took half-day off and went to meet Ryn. Mr. Long did not think the poor dear was the one asking for it but it was Jeremy's idea to go to her every single time.

Jeremy needed to change. He was no longer a young kid to be able to do whatever he wanted. He must carry the responsibility!
